Shame is the belief that many people have that “there is something about them, or that happened to them, that makes them unloveable by anyone-God included.” Shame is the root cause of addictions, unhealthy relationships, and certainly, unhealthy behavior.

In this two hour talk, Fr. Wagner will go over the causes of shame, and some possible remedies for people dealing with traumatic histories, or events in their lives. In fact, all of us are lovable, and once people begin to believe it, they will begin to treat themselves, and others, with dignity.
